So we have a question for the River Cats. What message are you sending to kids when you promote a two-time drug cheat? The same one that dads send to their kids when they give a standing ovation to a player returning from drug suspension — steroids, cocaine back in the ’80s, or other. When the player has done nothing to rehabilitate his standing, maybe with some community work?

Seems the message is clear: We don’t care about your character or kid, as long as you can paint the corner of the plate at 98 mph or take that fastball over the wall in left-center.

* To paraphrase former MLBer and friend of NR Bob Tufts, when may we expect to see Hamilton reimburse the Tampa Bay organization for the $3.96 million they wasted invested after making him their no. 1 pick in the 1999 amateur draft?
